RUMOUR MILL: Nissan To Remove Retro Charm From IDx For Production

by Mark Stevenson - August 26, 2014

Say goodbye to your modern 510 dreams

When Nissan showed off the IDx concepts to the gathered masses, the media was in heaven. The much-loved 510 could possibly be reincarnated into a modern, rear-drive coupe, affordable for almost all of us.

However, if a report from Motoring.com.au is to be believed, expect your modern 510 dreams to be shattered.

Nissan has never officially confirmed a production model based on the IDx concepts and much of what’s been said of a possible production car has been conflicting, even between ranking officials at Nissan.
